    "content": "worry when part of school fees is not paid. Mothers run around to deal with that. This is something that has really worked very well for the women in this country. I also want to celebrate our Deputy President because, being the principal assistant to the President, it was not going to be realised and implemented fully if he had not given support and agreed with what the President set out to do. I celebrate him. I celebrate the two of them. More so, for making sure that our party has quite a number of women elected to this House from constituencies. By the way, I will not want to blame Hon. Wanyonyi. When he looks at women elected from constituencies, maybe he tends to forget we are women – of the female gender. Maybe he thinks we are men like him. To tell you the truth, I think he gets a bit confused. It is important for him to realise that women have been elected here and that the more we work together the more the goals of our Constitution and women rights in this country will be realised. We have been celebrated all over the world because of AGPO. Cabinet Secretaries of our ministry in charge of gender affairs have received several awards for AGPO. It is a tool for empowering women. This would not be realised without effort. I thank the leader of the delegation because this has been flagged out as a call to action. The issue of training women, the youth and persons with disabilities on procurement so that they can be empowered is a good thing. I would have had quite a bit to say but time is too short. I think we are headed somewhere. Finally, I want to celebrate the former Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga."
